Thank You To The Best Ma In The World, And All The Beautiful Mothers and Carers; Check out these 3 supermoms too!

  

That's me, if you didn't guess already, and that, as always the patient and caring and loving and quiet one, is Ma. She has not changed a bit even today. Ensuring that her world revolves around her children, that she is always there to listen, that she is always there to take care and be present, no matter what we do or want of her.

Always around and ready to be by our side, even when I am engrossed in my routine or moods, and am just being the horrible daughter that I am. But she is always there, and here, the same, not a change, always the same love, that only seems to increase and grow stronger day by day and every minute.

All of me that I owe entirely to her and baba.

One of the first image or name that comes to mind, usually, when we're out and low, and fighting through our own crisis, is 'Ma'. No doubt then that it is true that whether a mother is working in the home, outside, or managing both, or managing life and those around her in her own way, a mother is always the one who is synonymous with both the happy and amazing, as well as the toughest times in our lives.

No doubt then that a mother is definitely one of the strongest breeds we have, and are truly blessed to have.

Amidst all the rush of life, raising kids while establishing and managing a business can be quite a trick, and here are 5 mom entrepreneurs who  are rocking and running highly successful businesses, while being the magician at home too!

And must say, some of these I wasn't really aware of:   

  

Suchi Mukherjee- Founder & CEO, Limeroad

Before Suchi Mukherjee moved to India and set up e-commerce fashion website LimeRoad, she was involved in scaling up technology businesses in the UK, being at top roles at eBay, Skype, and Gumtree. LimeRoad was the result of an idea the former investment banker had after the birth of her son Aadit, while being on maternity leave. The concept for a women’s online lifestyle platform, where one could access a vast array of amazing products, soon turned into a challenge of turning entrepreneur with two young children to take care of. From leaving behind her few months old son and daughter Myra in London with her husband, and traveling every month to India for 15 days, it was a tough year for the family.  While she knows that there are many ‘mom things’ she misses out trying to be a successful entrepreneur, being a parent, on the other hand, gives her an enormous corpus of learning on dealing with people. 

  

Neha Bagaria,  Founder & CEO, Jobs For Her

Neha took a 3.6-year break in her career when she had her children. During this personal journey, she became aware of the various difficulties a woman faces in order to re-enter the workforce. This also opened her eyes to the accomplished and qualified women around her who stopped working for personal reasons such as marriage, motherhood or elderly care, and then never returned to the workforce. Neha started delving into the reasons behind this female brain drain and it became clear that there are many re-entry challenges that need to be addressed in India. These range from requiring flexibility, regaining confidence, retraining, overcoming biases and changing mindsets. It made her determined to enable other women to restart their careers and connect them with whatever they require to do so. Hence, she founded JobsForHer on International Women's Day, March 2015, a dedicated career platform to accelerate women’s careers by enabling them to start, restart, and rise in their careers. From women who have never worked before but bring a world of experience to the table from the life experiences they have been managing, to women who took a break to look after their families, to women who are driven, ambitious, and focused on rising in their careers, JobsForHer is the only platform in India that is committed to their professional success, no matter their life stage.

One of the toughest and least appreciated roles in the world, it's tough being a mother yes, it comes with its amazing rewards yes, and each day, a mother is not just teaching and imparting values and learning, she is also contributing a large percentage of overall growth to our society, today, and for all the tomorrows to come.

To all mommies out there, to all caregivers, to anyone who is in a caring capacity, whether a mommy or otherwise, I share a big thank you, and a big big hug and a resounding applaud. You're amazing!
